I didn't post in my blog last week, I didn't work at the zoo since I had thought I might stay over night in Oxford. That didn't happen so I actually did end up at the zoo on Sunday afternoon with mum and dad. I asked after Kush, and Jenny said that she didn't look good but that she was having a scan on the Monday.
Yesterday I didn't ask after Kush and I didn't go down to her enclosure to see how she was - I think deep down I already knew the answer.
On the zoo's facebook page this morning, they announced the devastating news that Kush was put to sleep on Monday after she was found to have severe liver cancer. My thoughts are with Jenny and all the other cat keepers.
I leave this post with a picture of Kush (top), taken last Sunday and one of Aron her mate (bottom) who is doubtlessly feeling her absence too.
